I have seen this since Holyfield played intermediate ball. I don't like this just as much as players who look into their stands at their parents for "instructions". I had a player once who used to do that all the time and finally, during the game, I told him to go up and sit with this dad. He declined to do so and that was the end of it.</p> <p>Dakineboo is correct thay they have a very good starting 5, but that's where it ends. The drop off is huge at the bench. Mid Pac does have the capability to steal a game from one of the bigger schools, but it would have to be a close to perfect game played by Mid Pac. Because they are very limited as far as talent goes, their margin of error is very small compared to a school like Iolani and Punahou that can go very deep talent-wise. </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/mid-pacific-boys-varsity-basketball#post-126 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 09:23:31 +0000 Fanatic 126@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>hoopsitiz,</p> <p>Along with Basketball Jones, I notice that you always seem to provide good and keen insight. It is like you have your finger on the pulse of Hawaii Basketball. It is also refreshing that you and Jones seem to be unbiased with your comments. Unlike some other bloggers to this site! </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/mid-pacific-boys-varsity-basketball#post-123 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 09:13:58 +0000 hoopsitiz 123@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>You hit it on the nose Fanatic. This is the ILH, not Club Basketball. I bet Mid-Pacs Head Coach must have to deal with alot. This club coach should sit way at the top of the bleachers instead of within the first 5 rows. He probably undermines what the head coach says. Too bad!!!! </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/mid-pacific-boys-varsity-basketball#post-121 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 09:05:17 +0000 Fanatic 121@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>dakineboo,</p> <p>I would say that this is a pretty accurate assesment on your part. What I would like to see is for the team captains to stop going over to their club coach at half-time to be consulted. This is not club season! They need to be listening to their Mid-Pac coach! know matter how successful they are on the club level, this is not club ball, this is the ILH! Wouldn't you agree? </p> http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/topic/mid-pacific-boys-varsity-basketball#post-114 Wed, 02 Jan 2008 02:20:02 +0000 dakineboo 114@http://www.hawaiihoops.com/forum/ <p>Man let me tell you this ILH basketball fans...the Mid-Pacific Owls are going to be a cinderella pick to make the state tournament this season...Yeah I know what all of you are thinking...what is this guy talking about...but if you look at the overall picture of the ILH...its wide open and you never know what could happen especially in terms of your share of upsets...Mid Pac although not large in size...has a particulary good starting five...Marcus Holyfield who is probably one of the better basketball talents on the island...Sampson Won who has proven to be shaky at times is lighting up the scoreboard this season with steady play at the point position...and Devan Takenaka...a wild but yet athletic 3 man that can penetrate and get down and dirty on defense...I'm not saying that Mid-Pac is automatically going to make the states...I'm just saying a lot of people underestimate them...but watch out...they're going to impress a lot of people this year...and maybe...just maybe knock off one of the big dogs...if they play the right way... </p>
